How many times have you heard of someone committing suicide by hanging themselves in a kneeling position from a strip tied to furniture? Got to work with what you have I suppose.

Observed characteristics of suicidal hangings: an 11-year retrospective review

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22845010/

Abstract

Many studies have been published regarding suicidal hanging deaths, and most forensic pathologists and coroners are very familiar with such causes of death. Forensic pathologists are challenged over their rulings regarding manner of death in part because the general public has a limited scope of knowledge. One such challenge centers on the question of whether a hanging can be a suicide if the individual is not fully suspended. The authors designed a retrospective study to review suspension in hangings and to analyze other criteria used to help in deciding manner of death. We examined 229 suicidal hanging deaths over an 11-year period (1997 through early 2009) using the data from two separate jurisdictions in Ohio. In conclusion, we found that the vast majority (83.4%) of people who hanged themselves were found partially suspended.

Robert Ley, Hitler’s labour minister, ‘hanged’ himself in his Nuremberg cell while sitting down.

He made a ‘rope’ from a strip of towel, tied it to a water pipe behind his toilet, sat on the toilet and tied the rope around his neck, and leaned forward to tighten the noose and strangle himself.

I imagine if you are in a cell and determined to hang yourself you’ll likely find a way.
I wonder if they get someone to check cells to see if it can be done as preventative measures
